OK, so not every place with gun control laws is violence free. But many (like Japan) are.
Turn the question around, can you point to anywhere that has less gun laws and heavy gun ownership, and almost no violence? I don't think it exists.
In other words gun control does help, but it can't solve the problem entirely. Areas of high poverty in the U.S. have the most violence regardless of gun control. Should be obvious but I don't hear it discussed much. A country that lets its cities go to shit and urban populations with massively high unemployment will have crime and violence.
